dUSt Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Personally, I try to take off of work for it every year and spend the day in prayer. It's such a wonderful day.

I was afraid this thread was going to be the equivalent of that Care Bears movie where they all stood around and converted the guy to fluffy-bunnyness by saying: "We CARE . . ." I'm so relieved.

If they were not noticed by dUSt that wouldn't be saying much because I've never seen evidence that would suggest dUSt looks at most of the threads anyway. Also dUSt said "Glad to see you posting again", which was likely a reference to your recent posts. And the comment, "Haven't seen you in quite awhile" does not imply that he didn't see your posts, it could suggest that he did in fact see them, or it could simply be meant in the sense that he sees you now in a direct exchange of posts, which hasn't happened in quite a while.
Laudate_Dominum Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 This reminds me of a thread long ago where people were complaining that some people on this site have a tendency to approach normal discussions as if they were arguments over scripture. Sorry if I'm guilty of exegeting posts in excess.
Apotheoun Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 In the Ruthenian Church on the evening of Great and Holy Friday a burial shroud with an image of Christ upon it is brought out for the veneration of the faithful, and after the service everyone goes up and individually prostrates himself and venerates and kisses the five wounds of Christ. Later the shroud is laid upon the altar in place of the altar cloth.
Birgitta Noel Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 At the Brothers the priests do 3 full prostrations on their way to venerate the cross and everyone else does three bows touching their foreheads to the floor. It's such an amazing experience. Especially when you reach the foot of the cross...
